I'd say you have the cars and diaramas down.

After watching Jeff Dunham with his Ford Cruising Van and Cruising Pinto Wago, I'd like to build these two kits

In reading the specs. it does say it can be used for air brushing -
Airbrush compressor

Now that I think about it, I have this one that I bought for the camper and wondering if I could use this if I put a water trap on it and adaptor for my hose. It does tend to be a little loud when recovering air but, it does have a tank. Also, I can adjust the air pressure but, not sure if it will go low enough. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fini-FINI-1-2-Gallon-Portable-Electric-Hot-Dog-Air-Compressor/50192315 -
Revells Big T by Monogram 1/8 scale
martin9428 replied to martin9428's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nice. I'd like to find 1 or 2 more so I can make the different variations but, would have to find them at around the same price. I started it yesterday. The split frame makes it hard to ensure that it's square. This is the first one I have built without a one piece frame so hopefully I got it close. Do you have one built? Let me know if you decide to let one of yours go. I would be interested. -

Hopefully not smoking and drinking while cleaning the floors. -
This is a great diarama, now if you could find the perfect driver for the car I think it would pull it all together

Not much of a car guy and wouldn't pick out all the problems mentioned so, that being said, I think it's a good looking model and to the average guy, it's a nice car. I like the color of yours but, will go with either the red or turquios -
Building a spray booth
martin9428 replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I saw a video on youtube where they did this. You may want to dedicate the vacuum to this as the inside will most likely get built up paint residue. You might be better off buying a cheap 4" fan and take the screen off to mount to the back off the storage been. I have been researching this very topic as I have to paint in the basement because I have two 70 lb. long haired dogs. My problem is the basement windows are new tilt in windows with permanent screens so, I need to figure out something to vent the hose into. There is a kit that goes on the end of the hose to vent your drier to which you normally fill with water as a lint trap, something like that might work. I am thinking of using foam core as my booth. Also, you might want to add a cheap LED light strip to the top of your storage container -
Or having the stretcher accidently fall during loading

I will most likely use my own spark plug wires and hopefully they will be more to scale. I like your idea with the air breather covers. They do look good though -

Please do. It should ship tomorrow and will hopefully have it by the end of the week. I will put my "Big T" on hold while I build the Mustang. It's been a long time since I've built and the detail is big on the 1/8 scale so hopefully the 1/12 scale will get me back on the ball -

I'm building it for my wife. She had always wanted one in Red with white interior and since I can't afford to buy her a real one, well, this will have to do. I have a ford dealership here in town and going to see if I can get the actual red to paint the body. As far as the interior, I have a page saved that give interior pictures and also paint colors so we will have to see how it plays out https://www.quartoknows.com/blog/quartodrives/art-mustang-1964-12-hardtop -

I built this kit many years ago and because I am a novice builder, find that it had enough detail for my skill level. I would like to see pictures when you get some time. -

I found that to be the case myself, with YouTube videos. You'd think you could find one decent video or build log somewhere. -

So, would you make it straight up and down? -
